Hello all and happy holidays. I just moved in to a new house and my room has this huge hole leading to the living room and kitchen. The noise can be unbearable at times and the lack of privacy is frustrating. so I've been thinking of ways to cover up said hole that would block out some of the sound. I can't do any construction because we are only renting the house but i was thinking of filling it in with some sort of foam or Styrofoam blocks, then painting it or covering it with a curtain. any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

If you want to go off the foam idea you should try measuring out large foam boarding and make what is basically a giant puzzle piece for your wall. Slide it into the wall and hang a blanket with a cool design on top of it.

use acoustic foam. Try tacking up a thick curtain on each side first, it may solve a lot of the problem. (It won't drop it a ton, but may be 10db is all you need.) If that doesn't work, then yes, use acoustic foam. It won't help a ton because drywall doesn't block sound very well either, as many apartment owners have found.

ok so thats not actually a bedroom... and also why would you rent a place that you knew had this feature, when you decided to use that "extra room" as a bedroom?
>>906753
why the fuck would you get that place

A photograph of your actual situation would help.

Yeah, like >>906776 said, fill it with acoustic foam and sandwich it with some thick curtains on either side, maybe some interesting looking rugs could work even better.
